Rebels with a Cause: Humanist Lessons from Star Wars (hybrid)

with Louise Jett. 

On May the Fourth, we’ll explore what a galaxy far, far away can teach us about resistance, justice, and ethical rebellion here on Earth. Drawing on themes from Star Wars and real-world activism, this talk reimagines the Force as our shared human potential and reminds us that we are each other’s only hope. Even if you’ve never seen a Star Wars movie (or if you only vaguely remember a guy with a glowing sword in space) this talk is for you!

Curious and compassionate, Louise Jett (she/her) is an Ethical Humanist, media specialist, graphic designer, writer, and artist. In short, she is an educator, community organizer, and storyteller who strives to approach challenges with optimism and enthusiasm. An American Ethical Union Certified Leader, she is truly inspired by people who are dedicated to empowering and caring for others. She worked as a professor for 12 years and has experience facilitating conversations and Restorative Justice Community Circles. She earned her Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design and Associate of Arts from Lewis and Clark Community College; her Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership from Greenville University where she received a full scholarship; and her Master of Education from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in Education Policy, Organization & Leadership with a specialization in New Learning Design & Leadership. At her full-time job, she currently serves as the statewide branding manager for the State of Illinois. Louise loves connecting with others and having fun!
